Deputy Minister of Health says the rate of population expressing readiness for vaccination ranges between 40% and 47%

According to Deputy Minister of Health, Tamar Gabunia, the rate of the population expressing readiness for vaccination ranges between 40% and 47%.

As Gabunia noted, public distrust towards the vaccine is common in all countries.

"Distrust towards the vaccine is one of the first problems facing every country today. The rate of the population hoping that the vaccine will be the solution varies between 40 and 47%. 40% is not a desirable figure, although we are working with healthcare workers first. Even there we do not have 100% rate, but we will start the vaccination process and at the same time the information campaign will be much more active, after which, we expect that more people will be in a positive mood, of course," Gabunia said.

According to her, the active information campaign on vaccination will start at the end of February.

"The vaccination campaign is general now and very active campaign will start from the end of February or the first half of March”, said the Deputy Minister.
